Art1.2 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I haven't given my 2014 Numismatic or Photographic goals a bit of thought. Perhaps your thread will spur me to consider there things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Organize. I guess that's a perpetual thing, but I would like to start arranging pieces that aren't in type sets into themes, perhaps enter some exhibits at shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 To be more selective, less of a magpie. That will mean fewer but more expensive acquisitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done well at organizing my collection. Best of luck with it and the exhibits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 To be more selective, less of a magpie. That will mean fewer but more expensive acquisitions. I've tried that goal myself a number of times but have always failed -- I guess shiny things always attract me. Good goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that have a lot of success with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Finish my state quarters set (only need USVI) and continue with the presidential dollars and national parks. Nice goals. I have a bit of work to do on my Presidential dollars too. National Parks also. Dang! I have more work to do than I had realized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Get rid of every coin I have. Take them all to a bank and just deposit them as if just plain, ordinary coins. Try imagining the look on people's faces if I really did that. Those that go to banks and requests rolls. Would be fun to see them staring at what they just got if they received my stuff. No, I am not going to do that but it is fun to think about stuff like that. My Goals actually are to try to complete my #1 Mercury Dime Album in all FSB's. I presently have 12 Mercury Dime Albums. Each one is progressively in higher grades from #1 to #12. Only about 8 more to go with FSB;s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I find it difficult to have goals when my coin books are in a different city. I collect coins by series and have only a couple of holes left in two of my series. I don't remember exactly which I have left. I do have an excel spreadsheet or two I could consult. But... I'd like to add one more note to my silver certificate series (the remaining notes cost as much as a few thousand dollars ), maybe finish my Peace Dollar series (only one coin left - 1934-S (I think...)), add a few other coins that I am pretty sure I need.

Burks Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 My goal is to simply get back into collecting. I've bought MAYBE 5 coins over the past three years. Granted I'm getting married this year, I still want to get back into it. I'm content with nice, cheap world coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Congrats, Burks! Can't wait to have you back, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hah. He said "plan". Like I plan anything. Get the Jeffs back on track, with the specific goal of one early proof. That's really about it. Keep bangin' away at the Jeffersons, and maybe even get started on the Ikes. Grab anything loosely defined as both "neat" and "affordable".

Arminius Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 "Goals for collecting" sounds like "fighting for peace" to me. As a hunter i need opportunity, chance and bargain. However i try to focus on ancient Greek and Roman coins with good Classical or Hellenistic style and less modern issues. (but the i see the still very attractive Lithuanian and Latvian latest issues, ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 PCGS and NGC sets are fun. Best of luck with your work on these sets. Can you post a link to your sets? Yes I can and here is my link and I will add it to my signature line. I have two showcase set that are at the bottom of the screen and you will need to scroll down. I also have my coin album which I have ANACS Photo cert and Samples, and out of business holders (the other stuff that PCGS does not let you put into a set.) But I have posted pictures of them on many of the forums. http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/OtherSets.aspx?m=32594 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been through a few of your sets and part of your album. WOW! I really enjoyed it and will come back to check out some more. Your collection of "rattlers" is really a neat thing. I have a few in my collection and purchased them purposely to have samples of the old slabs. I did run into one that I could not add to my Jefferson Nickel set and PCGS told me I had to return it to get it reslabbed. I kept the old one.
